Surnames: Booth/Geen Barnstaple/Torrington/Georgeham..Devon
I am looking at the Geen branch of my family, Booth, and the starting point appears to be with John Geen and his daughter Caroline [Catherine]. In 1858 Caroline had an illigitimate son Henry who then lived with his grandparents in Georgeham. Caroline then went on to marry my great great grandfather Charles Booth and lived with him in Greta Torrington where she started a new family. I have the marriage certificate of Henry, whose father is now named as Charles Geen, a gardener [Charles Booth was also a gardener..co-incidence or misunderstanding? hiding the illigitimacy or a different person?] Henry married Emma Harris and are traced through census up to 1901 where they move to Buckland Brewer and end up in Sparkhill Warwickshire. They had quite a few children including, from Henry's first marriage to Annie, Carrie {Caroline],Annie,Winifred, Emma, Henry,Frederick,Ellen and Clifford.
If anyone has any links with any of these names please contact me or if you want to know more about Caroline [Geen] Booth and her family.

Hello. I amnot sure if this is the same Geen family as mine, but I have found that my paternal great grandfather, John Geen married a Caroline in about late 1870's, his first wife, Emma having died in 2nd quarter of 1872 in Cardiff. John was blacksmith and one of his youngest children by Emma, namely Albert is my grandfather who lived with his wife Harriet in Aberdare Wales and who died in 1918 My sister and I zare planning to come to Devon where we understand there is a link with the Geen family who moved to Birkenhead and whose remaining Devon family are buried in Barnstaple and Bideford cemeteries.

If you can enlighten me as to any possible link with your researched Geen family I would be grateful as Angela is coming from Australia and we are coming to Devon in September. I certainly don't want to waste her time by looking at the wrong Geen connection. Can you help please? Beth Neilly nee Geen)
